Gwendoline Christie probably won't be playing a Wookie in any future Star Wars films.

The Force Awakens actress appeared as Stormtrooper Captain Phasma in the record-breaking blockbuster - and after seeing her Chewbacca impression, that's for the best.

Gwendoline has made our year as she gave it her all, trying time after time to nail Han Solo's furry sidekick's trademark roar during an interview with Collider , although it leaves a lot to be desired.

Full marks for effort - although it was more of a gargle than the growl synonymous with the Millennium Falcon's co-pilot.

"You almost have to rewrite all the record books for this movie," gushed box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak. "It's absolutely mind-blowing that Star Wars could get to a billion dollars in 12 days and it hasn't even opened in China, the second-biggest movie market in the world."
